Envie - Double Dry-Hopped
Parish Brewing Company

Look: pours a gorgeous hazy light yellow orange. Looks like juice
Smell: citrus-y hoppy goodness, zesty
Taste: interesting. Great citrus juiciness that transitions to piney hoppiness. And the pine taste is pretty good and I traditionally dislike that hop flavor. Both are fighting for dominance...but neither wins. The flavors seems to disapate into nothing. No piney or floral/citrus aftertaste.
Feel: medium body, fits
Overall: smells really good and then tasting, it seems like your on a trip to taste that amazing smell BUT the pine and citrus fights back and forth, tire themselves out and you don't really get to that amazing taste that it seems you're heading towards. The flavour you get is great, but fleeting and it always seems like you're on the cusp of getting the major flavor but then you don't lol

So it has a lot a like, only the smell I love and nothing to dislike or hate.

(Also, I see this at all my specs and Total wine. So much for retired ha)

 

 

 

 

 

This is an excellent APA. The DDH made a huge difference with this.

Parish does an outstanding job with all of its beer!

In Laurel.
B.A. indicates that this is already a retired offering.
LOOK: Pours a highly hazy, pretty much opaque pale straw yellow with a bold white head with decent retention.
AROMA: Floral hops of grapefruit peel and citrus abound. Breads, biscuits also present.
TASTE: More of the same, a little sour, plenty of bread malts.
FEEL: The sour effect at the end is significant and you immediately reach for another sip.
Superb!

 

 

 

 

 

Fresh on draft at Loosa, Tuscaloosa AL.

Nice hazy golden pour, with a half finger head of creamy foam and heavy, even lace as it settles

Fairly subtle tropical fruit balances a predominance of grassy hops and sweet malt. Even getting a little essence of milk sugar, which for some reason I’ve been getting more often from hazy pales on the nose. Weird but I like it.

Piney, grassy hops greet you first, a potent but very tasty pale that settles into a more mellow, citrus-forward DDH pale. Well balanced and very refreshing.

Smooth, juicy, no unpleasant lingering bitterness. Very soft, low carb.

 

Thanks Greg N! Had from bottle dated 9/06/18 (Wine World Destin)

Wow, great haze bomb! Love this beer, pours the color of OJ mixed with some sort of bodily fluid; tons of cheese rind and bread on the pallet, would drink over & over!

 

reviewing this here, as i am not sure what/if single hopped variant it might have been, the menu simply read double dry hopped, and so here we are, retired or not. somehow even more murky than the original, which was striking enough, but this one looks more dull despite the blanket of thick white head on top and the fine lace rings it leaves. aroma here is almost too juicy, tons of fruits pop out, pineapple from the can, overripe pear, orange, and grapefruit, as well as some bitter pine, its attractive, and one sniff already tells me what its going to taste like. the hop nuances seem to compete with each other for the attention of my tastebuds, and its not totally groovy at the end, like a war of attrition where all combatants are too fatigued at the end to really be their full selves, if that makes sense. the original seemed really heavily dry hopped, and this might be excessive (although i see a 4x version listed here, good heavens!). what is gained in the nose is expensed in the flavor, and its a little more kitchen sinky, heavy, and for just a second harsher than the original. great beer overall, this all sounds way too critical, its downright fantastic stuff, but i would not choose this again over normal envie i dont reckon...
